BRYAN WAS WELCOMED HOME.
RECEIVED AS OVATION OS HIS RE
TI'RN TO LINCOLN.
The Democratic Nominee Delivered
n Speech of Sonic Length—Told
Why He I.eaveN Lincoln to Meet
l*crsons* Instead of Having Them
Come to Him—lllnntrntions Given
by the Speaker of His View* on
I m perin 1 lain.
Lincoln Neb., Aug. 16.—Lincoln tendered
a handsome welcome to Mr. Bryan to-day
upon tU return to his home here after
an absence of ten days. He reached the
city at 3:20 p. m . and was met at the
depot by a large concourse of peopl? who
esccr e:i him to his residence and who,
after listening to a speech there and shak
ing hards wi h both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan,
only dispersed to meet in the evening
with many others in a reception given in
ti e slate < a;.itoi grounds, which partook
of the nature of an official function.
Mr. Bryan spoke at some length in his
reply to the address of welcome, first ex
pressing his and Mrs Bryan’s apprecia
tion of the good will of their townspeo
ple of all parties, and explaining why he
went away from home to meet people
instead of having them come to Lincoln
to see him. On this latter point he said:
“I have sometimes been criticized for
going away from home instead of stay
ing here and having people come lo see
me, but I have felt, in the first place,
that people could not come here as well
as they could go to Canton. Lincoln is
not in the center of a thickly populated
country as Canton is, and out people have
not the means of traveling without cost,
as they have in some parts of the coun
try under some circumstances, and 1 have
felt that it is a great deal cheaper for me
to go and see the people than for me to
compel them to come and see me. (Ap
plause).”
Mr. Bryan then discussed national Is
sues at some length, saying:
“Not long ago a Republican was chid
ing one of our people with the fact that
the Filipinos were looking to a Demo
cratic election for the securing of their
rights and the Republican said ‘Are you
not ashamed that the Filipinos are expect
ing nid from the Democrats?’ nnd this
man replied to the Republican: ‘Do you
know of any people in all the world who
are fightng for liberty who are looking
to the Republican party for help at this
time?’
Mr. Bryan then explained the reasons
ot his party for an apparent change of
issues, describing the rise of the silver
Question and going on to say:
‘‘But the Republican party has brought
into this campaign a question more im
portant than any question that merely in
volves the system of taxation, the indus
trial system or the financial system. The
Republican party attacks the fundamental
principles upon which our government
rests, and when the Republican party
strikes at the very foundation of free
government, it injects into the campaign
an issue of overshadowing importance.
know human nature, and we know
that if this nation reaches a point where
it is willing to deny the universal appli
cation of the principles set forth in the
Declaration of Independence, it will not
be long till thos-o principles will not be
applied in our own country, and I want
to warn those who toil that whenever in
this country we begin to neglect the prin
ciples of self-government, the poor will be
the first to suffer. Those who to-day say
that the dollar of trade is superior to
the rights of the Filipinos, will be saying
in a few* years, that money is more import
ant than man, and that those only who
have, great wealth, have sufficient at
stake to have a voice in the government
here. (Great applause.)
“Our contention is that, our government
is built upon the doctrine that all men
are created equal. Destroy this doctrine
and there is no foundation upon which
a free government can be built. If all
men are created equal, if they are en
dowed with inalienable rights, if govern
ments are instituted among men and de
rive their just powers from the consent
of the governed, then this nation has no
more right as a nation to claim the own
ership of 8,000,000 Filipinos than one man
has a right to claim the ownership of an
other man. The Republican party, which
was not willing that a black man should
be sold for a thousand dollars, now claims
that a Filipino can be bought for two
dollars and fifty cents. The principle is
exactly the same.” (Great applause.)
TALKED AUDIT LYNCHING.
Colored Mon Held n “Von-J’nrdsnn
Conference.**
Boston, Mam., Au*r. 16 —The e was rath
er a small gathering to-day in the North
Russell Street African M. E. Church at
the first session of the “i on-yar isin con
ference,” call and to bring together lead n.?
colored men of New England, “to take
such steps as will arouse th* coumry to
a jusi s ■ nso of r.uty and to emphasize
the lace’s eternal hostility to being de

Edwin O. Walker made a strong
for the negroes to assert their manhood.
“It is a terrible thing.” he said, “to con
template the condition of the negro race
to-day, outraged and murdered by the
people of the South, hut the South alone
is not to blame. Ninety per cent, of
these murders ctould have been averted,
had the I T nited States government acted.
This condition exists in the South, and
it is gradually working North. Murders
of colored men occur in the South to-day
and in New York to-morrow.

order that there might be negotiations
with the commanders on the spot.
The reply to this communication is an
emphatic denial of the request to atop the
troops. "We are advised by Minister
Conger that the attacks by imperial troops
upon the legations in Pekin have not
ceased.” said this government. ‘‘While
these attacks continue, we cannot stop the
advance of our forces toward Pekin.”
At the same time, the American reply
contains copies of instructions to Gem
Chaffee, which Secretary Adee in his note
says would, if the attacks cease seem to
provide tor all the action required under
the circumstances stated by Karl Li in
his dispatch. The authority given to
ChnlYee uontemplntes the acceptance by
the Chinese government of the conditions
laid down in the American, reply of Aug.
10: “If the Chinese authorities commu
nicate willingness to deliver the ministers
and persons under their protection to the
relief column at Pekin, under arrange
ments which you consider safe, you are
authorized 10 make and carry out the
arrangements in concert with other com
manders without referring it here.” And
liu* instructions make it plain to Gen.
Chaffee that the question of the place of
delivery, whether it shall be inside Pekin
or at the outer gate, is left to him and
ther other generals who are on hand. It
will be seen from this that the General
in command of the American forces has
had ample authority to act during the
past two days, and that if he reached
Pekin on the 14th, as seems likely, there
was nothing to stand in. the way of nego
tiations for the prompt turning over of
the besieged legation people.
The authorities here feel positive that
the rescue ha c already taken place. They
have really had no doubt since the ap
pointment of Li that eventually the rescue
would take place by the Chinese practi
cally accepting the American conditions.
A notable fact revealed by these instruc
tions is that the face of the 3.000 native
Christians has at no time been lost sight
of.
It will be noticed that the instructions
to Chaffee refer to the ministers and the
persons under their protection. Tht3
means not only the legation forces, but
the. native Christians who would, all of
the ministers have reported, be left *o
undoubted massacre if abandoned by the
relief forces. They are to be taken care
of just as are the others. There is. of
course, a great deal of anxiety in official
circles over the situation because every
body is now watching for the news of
the relief. Not until that comes will the
authorities breathe easy .
At- to-day’s meeting of the cabinet
there was naturally some discussion of
what would follow the successful accom
plishment of the relief. Of course nothing
has been deckled, because no definite plan
would be fixed in advance of complete
knowledge of the conditions. It is certain,
howox'er. that with Minister Conger and
the American contingent safely in his
hands, there will ho nothing for the Amer
ican commander to do but to withdraw
from Pekin.
The question of indemnity must be left
to and p’orraiU channels It is probable,
however, that the American troops after
telieving Tien Tsin, will remain there un
til the negotiations relative to Indemnity
shall have bein completed. A cabinet min
ister said af er to-day’s meeting that no
determination whatever hzm been reached
as* to the course to be pursued after the
minsters have ixen securd.
As to the lu ure government of China
he indicat and that whatever influence this
govfrnmen might be able to exert would
be cn the line of preventing the dismem
berment of the country. He guve it as his
individual ot Inior, moreover, that China
would retrain intact and under Chinese
rule. England, J?ipan and the United
States are together in their advocacy' of
Chinese av.tonomy. and the jealousy of
other Powers would, he thought, contrib
ute to a gtn ral understanding ihat there
shall be no division of Chinese territory,
despiie oil the talk of German. Russian
and French plots to increase their hold
ings in that end of the worll.

COMPLIMFATED AMERICANS.
Gcrmnn Paper* Declare Vou Wald er
ne* Tnlk* Too Much.
Berlin, Aug. 16.—This morning Count
von Waldersec. accompanied by the Coun
tess and by Vice Admiral von Walderaoe,
his brother, visited the United States em
bassy and asked John E. Jackson, secre
tary of the embassy, to present his best
compliments to President McKinley. He
spoke in the highest terms of the Ameri
can troops, saying: “I know what they
can do nnd will consider it a great honor
to have such gallant soldiers under my
command.”
Before leaving Hanover yesterday he
made a speech to the Workingmen’s
Liedei tafel, saying that he hoped to finish
his task and return Boon to Hanover. In
his response to the address of the munici
pal delegation, ho said: With trust in
God and in the firm, cheerful courage of
my troops. I hope, to carry out the plans
and to overcome all difficulties.”
The pres* points out that Count von Wal
dersee is talking too much, and advises
him to talk less. The Koetnsche Volks
zeitung bid* him “follow Moltke’s exam
ple and talk with the sword." Several
Journals have dubbed him “Fe4t Mar
shal.”
In the course of a conversation at the
office of the general staff to-dov he said:
‘ The general situation for the allies is
unfavorable. Even if Pekin is token or is
about to be taken, the allies are every
where on the defensive, except in this ad
vance upon Pekin. It is necessary to
adopt the strategical offensive throughout
China.”
His idea seems to be to have the allies
act in conjunction with the Russian force®
in the provinces of Kirin and Schong
King, by way of Mukden.
Count von Waldersec will leave at noon
to-morrow for Cassel. where farewell fes
tivities will be held on Saturday. These
will consist of a military parade and a
banquet to be attended by a number of
generals. The banquet will also take
the form of a celebration of the seventieth
birthday of Emperor Francis Joseph.

“First. That, without regard to their

of Mr. Bryan’s sincerity and of his earnest
purpose tc secure to the Filipinos their

“Resolved, in declaring that the prin
ciples cf the Decloratlon of Independence
apply to all men. this congress means to
Include the negro race in AmeriJa as
well as the Filipinos. We deprecate all
efforts, whether In the South or In the
North, to deprive the negro of hie rights
ns a citizen under the Declaration of In
dependence and the Constitution of the
United States.”

dorsing Bryan, the representatives of the

AN INVENTOR’* FATE.
Novel Fly Trap Lends to Arrest for
Attempted Wife Mnrder.
From the New York Times.
Wllkesharre. Penn.. Aug 14.—Armsnd
Smith of this city was before Alderman
Donohue to-day on the charge of at
tempted murder. There are elements of
humor In the case, but Smith does not i
see them.
A few day* ago. with his wife, he went
to Lake Wlnola, and there camped In a
tent along the ehor# Everything went
beautifully until Monday night, when a
rainstorm drove a lot of flies and mos
quitoes tnstde the tent. The Invasion oc
curred Just a* Smith was falling asleep,
and his bald Ueod was a shining mark.
It wo* hot, end he became hotter, and
after o couple of hours' vain effort with a
polmleaf fan to keep the files from his
head, he conceived a brilliant scheme for
catching them.
Acting on the idea, he epreud molasses
thickly over the fan and placed It on the
pillow- between himself and his wife It
sin effective In thnt it caught flies, hut
when his wife rolled over, her foe# struck
the fan, end It stuck to her. She awoke
with a scream to find the molasses In her
eyes, noee and mouth, and dashed out of
the tent, shrieking murder.
Her alarmed husband followed, but she
beat him off and declared he hod tried to
smother her. Nothing could convince her
otherwise, and she left him. To-day she
had him arrested. Alderman Donohue said
he would give his decision In a week.
THE FATAL PILGRIMAGE.
Old Superstition Fulfilled In Case of
Italy’s King.
Marquee de Fonteroy In the Philadelphia
Pros*.
Once more las the old superstition bean
fulfilled according to which royal or im
perial couples who make the pilgrimage to
Jtru.-a em are overtaken by misfortune.
For the t aw king and quern of Italy visi
ted Jerusalem together Just bn da>e prior
to the nKn*rinnt|on of Humbert, which
plunged thorn Into mourning.
It may be remembered that the vlrtt of
the Archduke and .Archduchess Charlea
Louis Of Austria was followed by the sud
den death of the former, who as second
brother of Emperor Francis Joseph stood
next In the line of succession to the
crown. Another Imperial couple whose pil
grimage to the Hrjy Lund was followed
hy equally disastrous results were th*
criwn princess of Austria, for th# qttarrsl
which culminated | n Rudolph’s tretglo
death at Ma>frllng fol'owed immerlately
on ther return o Vienna from Palestine.
1 rlnce Frederick of Seto.swlg-Holsfeln.
uncle of the present German empreos, af
ter marrying a New York girl, MJ* S Ma-y
L e, took his bride on a honeymoon trip
to rile Holy Land, and died suddenly af er
a few hours' Illness on his way home, hi*
w 1 'low subsequently becoming the wife of
Count Wokiersce. one of the most dis
tinguished commanders to-day of the Ger
man army The visit of Emperor Will
lain s oldest sister and her husbsnd to
.Lr.isalem, atte-del by Baron and Bar
on, s Kotz, h'ud aa its nitural conse
quence the anonymous ktter scandal
Which forred Priicrss Charlotte to trans
fer her homo from Berlin to Breslau,
while Baron Kotge, lwsides having to fight
Innumerable duels and bring a cripple fop
life, had lo undergo a long period of im
prisonment.
The Kaiser’s own pilgrimage was foto
lowed hy a whole series of misfortunes,
which Included the Empress's breaking
her tog and becoming sfrlou.sly 111, th*
death of h< r moth r and the singularly
tragic suicide of Prince Alfred of Coburg,
who had been confided to the paternal
care and control of the Kaiser at Berlin
by hi < own parents, whose only son he
wna.
Bcnetal analogous cases could be cited,
and It to probably due to this that the
vast majority of the Imperial nnd royal
pc sonages who visit the Holy Land make
a point of doing so a’one, leaving their
huahands or thfir wlvr* at home. It to
thus that the late Empress of Austria, the
late Emperor Frederick of Germany,
[ King I.e qrold of Belgium, the Prince of
j Wales, the Ernie ror of Austria, the Em
preps Eugenio, Prince Henry of Prussia
and n number of oth"rs have been able
to make their p Igrlmage to the Holy
liand without litnt overtaken by subse
quent misfortune.
